Near by was an unknown and probably unseen aohooner. The night waft Weer, the moon ehiniag brigbtly, the sea smooth. Seven tiabautee /Etter both vessels were at the bottom of the sea, and with them sank 81 of their peeseugers and crews. In those seven minutes a collision and a death eteuggle with the waves had taken place. ItIvery Passenger Drowned. All the.paisengers of the Vizcaya were kat. Them names are Senor Juan Pedro, a partner of the firm of J. M. Cobedtoe Co., of this oity, and one of the ownere of the lost steamer; 1. R. Calvo, wife and son, M. Purr and two children, Mr. A. Raise, Jose Acambia, Rimers Alvarez, Juan F. Redman, Oecer Islaur, Luigi Tallinn and Jose M. Garda. Twelve of the crew of 77 were eaved from the steam- Dhip. The fate of the crew of the schooner is otill unhnown. The first news of the disaster was re - calved here when the steamer Humboldt, from Brazil, arrived at Brooklyn, having on board the survivors of the oatztetrophe. Captain Blaok, of the Humboldt, said that at daybreak this morning hie ship was of Barnegat light. Suddenly from off their port bow came a ory for tielp. Peering in that direotion through the miat of early morning the officers of the Humboldt saw three masts sticking out of the water, and clinging to the yards and rigging people were seen. A boat was quickly lowered and rowed to the Boone, and the unfortunates were rescued. Their joy was unspeakable when they were taken into the boat, The rescued men belonged to the Vizcaya. The rescued sailors were chilled to the bone from exposure to wind and wave, and mould have held out but little longer. 'When they were brought to this city they Alien taken to the office of J. M. Cattalos at Co., 90 Wall street, the owners of the Vizcaya. The firm had received notice of the loss of their vessel but a few moments before the earvivors walked into the office. Tor the neat, hour all was excitement. None of the survivors could talk English, and for some time it was impossible to obtain a correct account of the wreck. The Doctor's Account. From Dr. Rico the best account was ob. tained. He said: " Everything was work- ing nicely. It Was about 8 o'clock when I was on deck ana took a few tarns back and forth While smoking a cigarette. 1 dM not see any vessel near us. The ship was in charge of the first officer, who was on the bridge. I went down to the saloon -then, and there met Mrs. Calvo. We eat down and began talking. Sad- denly I heard the gong in the enginemoom ring the stop signal. Before I could even wonder what it was for, there came an awful shook, a crashing scraping sound on the deok over our heads and the steamer rolled well over on her port side. Everybody in the saloon was thrown down. All was excitement, men and women and children shrieking for help. Mrs. Calvo aeized my hand and begged me to find and save her boy. I told her I would. I went up to the deck to find him. There a terrible scene of confusion met my eyes. The bridge, deck- house and foremigging were all torn away. There was a great gash in the starboard side, just abaft the coal bunkers, and through this 'opening water poured in. Close by on our starboard beam was a big four -masted schooner with her bowsprit and fore rigging gone and her bows stove in. She, too, was filling rapidly. Men were running here and there all over our decks shoutingall kinds of orders, and I can remember seeing the crew of the sohooner doing the same thing on their veesel. The next thing I knew the water was washing over our deck. The steamer was fast sinking. With a wild idea of saving ourselves, several of us acrambled up the port fore rigging. Down went the steamer and up we climbed. We reached the foretop -gallant yard, and juat then the bull reached the bottom. This left as jest above the surface DE the water, bat every well drenohed our lower limbs. There were twelve of us in the rigging. Some of our crew had tried to reach the schooner, but she had gone to the bottom just as quickly as the Vizcaya had, and so far as we could see there was not a soul in eight to bring to a succor." survivors Landed. A Lewes, Del., despatch says : The tug Hercules aerived this evening and reports that it was the sohooner Cornelius Har- grave which collided with the steamer Vizcaya off Barnegat. Ten men from the Hargrave and seven from the Vizcaya were picked up by the schooner Sarah L. Davis, and were transferred to the Her. cules. The tug Rattler, which has been at the scene of the wreck, picked up the body of a woman supposed to have been the etewardess of the steamer. The survivors report nearly a hundred people were cling- ing to the wreck at one time. The schooner Hargrave, Capt. Allen, cleared from this port Oct. 27th witia a oargo of coal for Fall River, Mass. A Southern Feud. A Birmingham, Ala., despatob says: A fend, which has been brewing for some time near Croretvell, St. Clair county, broke out yesterday. in earnest. Two prominent families are Involved, and many lives will probably be lost before it is ended. Fonze and Powell Hancock and George Norgher have been ginning for eaoh other for some time. Yesterday morning Fonze fired two shots at Norger'but missed him. Later in the day Powell Hancock went to Norgher's house, and the two men opened fire on each other. At the fourth shot Hancock fell dead. Hie brother and Wanda are now hunting for Norgher with the intention of shooting him on sight. Friends have also rallied around Norgher, and a bloody fight is eripeoted. While Bailey's traction engine and threshibg machibe were passing near Carmel Methodiet Church, Carewrigbt, last week, a young man named William Methaffy, in attempting to catch the poker which was slipping off the engine, loot his balance and fell before the wheels. The engine was goirig too fast to be dapped quinkly, and the thresher Imaged over his body, crushing it frightfully, and causing death in a very short time. The steamer Penneylvanie from Phila- delphia Ocitober 22nd, arrived in Qaeerna town this relenting. She reports having encountered a hurricane, Which lasted four days. The wind created heavy nes, one of which boarded the atesaner, snenthing lifeboat. The pager:WU] were kept below eattOke for 60 home. CURING CONSUMPTION, PrOf' /13°12's ExPeliMentri With Nis Newly Di000vered Lymph XNCIVIENT CASES CURED. A. Berlin cable says Prof Rada refuses to say more ou the subject of hie diecovery of the cure tur consumption than late been published m the National Zeitte7.g, No further pentioulars are obtainable acept that metallic salts are used in the prep. ration of the lymph. The lyrepla lieving killed the haeillus, acts as a medlum to re•eetablieh the patientat Meath by its inherent healing powers, alai also fortifies him against the farther invasion of the baoillue. The lymph, is obtained by a long and extremely diffieule process at great cost, and the cure will therefore be available only for the wealtkY, if the remedy is not bought by the Govern. manta of the different countries for the general benefit of humanity. It is expected that long-standing oases of lune consump- tion cannot be cured by the invention, nein such cases other parasites besides the tuberculosis -Ionians eat their way into the long, while Prof, Koch's lymph (telly kills the betooillus proper; but it kills it imme- diately and stops the premed of coneump tion. Prof. Koch refuses to answer ques- tione, as they interfere with the progress of his experiments. The demon who have seen its working declare that the new invention is superior to the dia. °ovary of chloroform. Prof. Koala is making experiments at the present time in Prof. Senator's Ward of the Charity Hospital in this city on slight mesa of con- sumption. The patients have signed papers, declaring they will undergo the treatment of their own free will without holding Prof. Kooh reeponsible, if the results should unfortunately prove fatal. The professor has one assistant who is bound by oath not to breathe to anyone the slighteat information of anything he sees or bears. From e reliable eource a reporter learns that the great difference in the lymph used to fight email. pox and that used in the battle against consumption is that Prof. Koch inoculates only pereons who are already striokee with phthisie. This fact proves that it i- ot preventive, as the smallpox lymph is. The celebrated Prof. Leiden is the only person in Koch's confidence, and has the very greatest hope e. f the discovery. He said Prof. Iamb woual have remained silent if his aresess were not assured. Prof, Koch will announce his invention by means of an illustrated 1 °tare, which will soon be delivered before the Medical Society. A TRIPLE TRAGEDY, A Dispute A.bout a Boundary i,ine Leads to a Double Murder and Suicide. A St. Paul, Minn., despatoh say s : This morning at 10 30, at South St. Paul, a sickening tragedy was enacted, two men now being dead and a third wounded. Benj. J. Rodgers, of the big live stock cons. mission farm of Rogers & Rogers, and one of the best known stock dealers in the Northwest, was killed by Geo. Robarge near the latter'; house, a mile and a quarter from the stook yards. Some cattle belonging to Rogers, in charge of a young herder nemed Mende, were being driven across Robarge's premises to their grazing ground when Robarge aeeaulted Mickle. Mr. Rogers, whose house is near by, heard of the trouble and went to the spot. lie tried to get Robarge to mark the line of hie property so as to prevent future trouble, but the latter was too angry to pay eny atten- tion. Robarge made an attempt to assault Rogers with a shovel and then an axe, but was kept off. He then procured hia shot gun and shot Billy Rogers, who had come upon the scene, in the shoulder. The wounded man ran for his life, and Robarge opened fire on Benjamin Rogers, emptying a load of shot into his head by the left ear, making a frightful and fatal wound, death resulting almost instantly. As soon as the news of the murder reached the stockyards an excited crowd of MOE started out with guns, but they were too late. After an exciting search they found Robarge in his barn dead. He had placed the muzzle of the gun to his head and pulled the trigger with his toe, blowing off the entire top of his bead and spattering his brains over the stall where he lay. The murderer and suicide was an Anarchist, Crescent vs. Cross. A Constantinople cable eays : An en- counter has occurred between a detach- ment of Turkish troops and a bend of farmed Armenians, near Erzengatteo, 75 miles southwest of Erzeroum, in Armenia. Seven soldiers were killed Asnri fifteen were wounded. Acting under an order issued by the Sultan, the Governer of Erzerouna summoned all the Moslems to the mosques, where exhortations were rend in regard to their treatment of Christians. In the ex- hortation the Christian were termed brothers, and the Moslems were oelled upon to treat them with respect. They also declared that the Sultan WAS deter- mined to protect the Christians within his domains. Mrs. Piercey's Damaging Admissions. A London cable says: Mrs. Crichton, oilers Pieroey, who is under arrest on the charge of murdering Mrs. Hogg and her infant, and with whom Hoeg, the husband of the murdered woman, acknowledged he had a liaison, has, admitted that she had invited Mrs. Hogg to visit her. In response to this invitation Mrs. Hogg vieited her on Friday last daring the afternoon. In the course of their conversation Mrs Hogg made a remark that Mrs. Crichton disliked, and she resented it. A few words were then exchanged by the women. At this point the prisoner abrnbtly concluded her ad- missions with the remark that she had bettor not say anything more.

His Story of the etenler-Derttelot Troxiblee Seem,a rrobaule Ono. , A 13ruseelet cable says; I have jaet bad an interview with the Belgian Lieutenant Baert, who was Tippoo Tib'e secretary at the time of the EmIn relief expedition. He was a frequent visitor to the Barttelot camp. Ile Wail preeideat of the Eitenley Wall's court-martial mist& tried Sauget, Barttelot's murderer. Lieut. Baert says Stanley'estatenaent that any Engliela jury would have scquitted Sauget seems to be an impeachment of the court•martia1' 1 airs nese. The real twit ie that during the trial Selma himself alleged no other motive for murdering Barttelot than that Barttelot, dieturbed during the night of July 17th by the Manyenaa musical revels, which he had Manly forbidden, issued from hie hut, wherein Bonny also slept, discovered that the noise was naade by Saasga s wife, and raised his atiok against her, whereupon Sanga, in unpremeditated anger, thrust his gun spinet Berttelot'a breast and fired. He was so clots that Barttelot's clothes were found buraed on his body. This was the version of ah the eye -witnesses, corroborated by Sane himself. The savage needed no stronger motive than the aforesaid slight provocetion to murder Barttelot, because he expected that, according to Manyema customs, he would not be sentenced to more than a pecuniary penalty for taking another man's he. This impression was so much ingrained in Seaga a mind, that when he learned that he was really goitag to be shot he shrieked and swooned. Baert adds: This is a truthful account of the trial, as recorded by myself and fellowinciges, Captains Reneuse and Bobson, embodied in the official report, which oan be found in the Congo State's aohives. Stanley's in. sinuations that Sang& was was impelled by greater and fouler provocations may rest upon eeoret reports, which he probably be. lieved true; but which are shown to be false by Swage's own confession. Among his own European officers Barttelot had enemies who may easily, Barttelot being dead, have blackened his charsoter One thing, however, must be said in all justice, Barttelot although he was a real gentleman, a splen- did officer who carried bravery to the pitch of recklessness, war greatly disliked, because of ill -temper, impatience and intolerance towarde the natives and Arabs. I witneseed all his negotiations with Timpoo Tib regarding the reinforce- ments promised by the latter to Mr. Stanley. He constantly spoiled them by his intractable character, and thereby really brought about his own disasters. One his own offietera slept with their revolvers under their pillows, fearing moll other, Barttelot having set them all at loggerheads. It is also whispered that Barttelot had excited the anger of the black following by having some of them shot for slight offences between Yambuya and Banalya the day before the murder. I will not vouch for the truth of the latter report. It is perfectly true that Stanley himself would certainly have ovemome all the difficulties to which Barttelot succumbed through impetuou.s. nese. As a matter of fact Barttelot knew bis unpopularity and foreeaw his fate. He epoke of it with magnifioent oourage and coolness. Dining with me at Stanley Falls, jus e before starting to join Stanley, he said, • These are the last pancakes I shall ever eat. I am doomed to be killed.' I asked, Why don't you carry a revolver, instead. of a simple stick ? ' Bei:mese I shall surely be shot or stabbed from behind. Therefore a revolver is useletisa " Weighing all this, Lieut. Baert eimid—ssee the certainty that Stanley can prove nothing impeaching Barttelot's honor, although the report furnished to him by Troup, Bonny or others may lead him to believe in good faith that he can. A London cable says: In an article in the Contemporary Review, Dr. Peters, who claims to be authorized by Emin Pasha, asserts that Mr. Stanley more than one threatened to force Emin to anorapany him to the coast. Dr. Peters says that when delivering the offer of King Leopold of Belgium to Emin, he urged the latter not to accept intoning him that the authorities of the Congo State had a bad way of hint- ing, and King Leopold had treatea him (Dr. Peters) badly. Peters accuses Stanley of drinking wine, with his dinner served in European fashion, while the others at the same table were without wine, and ate negro fare. THE EELS COLUMN. le PM interview published in the Tele- graph, Mr. Stanley, still indulging in in- nuendo and evading the charge tbat he left the mum of his men with Major Barttelot, declares that the bad state of the rear column was due to 000arra008S too horrible to describe in all their barbarity. If fally described they would make an English- man's blood boil and his cheeks finch with shame. Being asked what caused the wholesale deaths there, Mr. Stanley ex- citedly asserted that he saw men with holes in their bodies alive with maggots. In nnewer to Troup's charges Mr. Stanley asked whether if they were true hia own return multi have caused enthusiasm and revived hopes in the rear column BB it did. He accuses Troup of jealousy and ambi. tion, and says the failure of the officers to protest against Barttelot's action to jestify themselves compelled him to in- clude all four in the same condemnation. Mr. Stanley eays he possesses letters of 16 pages from 1 roup containing matter which it is impossible to publish and that Troup refusee to modify it. In reply to the charge that he sought fame and riches Mr. Stanley says he spent £12,000 on the expedition before the start was me,de, and distributed £4,000 among the members of the expedition on their re- turn for the mdmirable service they rendered during the African trip. After describing in a graphic manner the death of Major Barttelot he concluded by am. phatically declaring that he knew nothing of the alleged immorality in the rear column andd that the trouble was some. thing entirely different. The Industrious Liar. A great many stories are current about Birchall, but they are made up of whole cloth, and can be traced to the wits about town. One story is to the effect that Rev. Mr. Wade, while praying with the prisener, asked him if he desired to go so heaver, ard that Birchen replied that he had friendst in' both please. Another story is to the effeot that a nerd McGee, who resigned sat210 time ago, wished to banish m large black oat that Birchen pets, and which was almost all the time in the call with him. Birdsall Fished him why he wished the cat removed, and McGee said that only a few days before he bad read ttbout & bleek oat that had Brushed the breath from a baby dur- lug the night, and the child Wag found dead in the morning. Birohall replied that it would not be that way be his oase, as it would be the cat that would be found dead in the morning. Yet another etory ie to the effect that Birchen is 113 the habit of dousing with water any priaoners who happen to be in the jail yard and wander under his window. Enquiry proves that these etoriee aro all flotation, and in some Osseo manufactured oo as to injure him with the publio. A TERRIBLE COLLISION, An Operator's Blunder Bends Trains Crashing Together, roun KILLED AND BIA.NY HORT. A Syracuse despatob of last (Monday) night says: An accident, most horrible in detail, marred on the Delawere, Lemke- wanna ati Western Railway at Rook Cut, a station about three mild] south of this city, through the undue unoffiotousnese of a boy telegraph operator by the name of M. A. Clark. The accident occurred. about 5.40 o'clock this afternoon, and the blunder- ing of the operator resulted in the death of four persons and the injury of many others, and the destruetiort of several thousand dollars' worth of rolling stook of the road. The New York ae Pacifies day express train from the south, which is due in Syracuse at 5 55 p. m., passes Rook Out at 5.40 o'clocat. It does not stop there, bat passes the station at the metal rate of speed, which ia about 40 miles an hour. Before the express was due at Rock Out two coal trains from Syra- cuse had arrived at the station and had been run in on a switch on the north side of tate main track. The engine on the first train that went in on the switch stood pretty well up towards the east end of the aide traok. Engineer Jas. Doyle, of Scran- ton, Pa., of the coal train, was in the cab of his engine waiting for the express to pass, when he would pull out. Michael Tierney, brakeman, was also in the cab, cleaning his lantern. The second coal than was behind Doyle's and about 70 feet from the caboose of the forward train. Clark, the operator, was in hie room in the station, a few rods east of the switch. He was on the loolnout for the express. The latter was on time, and as the headlight of its engine came into view it flashed through Clark's mind that the switch was open and if it was not closed the express would &oh into the coal train. No sooner did the thought enter his brain than he dashed out the door, rushed to the switch and swung it over. Then he realized, but too late, hie mistake. As the switch was turned the express swung on to the side track and the crash of the engines spoke the result. Like mentors they ground each other to pieces. The noise of the collision was lost in the oriee of the passengers within the coaohes of the express train. The fireman and engineer of each engine were caught in the wreck and ground to death. Their names wore: James Doyle of Scranton, Pa, and Myrtle Fernard, his fireman ; Michael J. Bnrke of Syracuse and Jeremiah Lee, his fireman. The body of Engineer Doyle was found lying by the fence on the north side of the road. His left arm was severed from the body. The body of Fireman Fernand was found buried ander tons of vereekage. Burkoa body lay under a great mass of twisted bon and wood on the south side of the track. The body of Firemen Lee was found tightly wedged between the body of hie engine and the oab. A CO Va7ARDLY MIIBDEll. Two Burglars Shoos Down an Old Man who was Defending his Premises. A Troy, N. Y„ despatab says : Thos. Churchill, 83 years of age, was murdered by burglara on Friday night at hie home in the little hamlet known as" The Hem- locks," two miles south of Solanylerville. Two men attempted to break into the house. They broke the window of the room Where Churchill and hie wife were sleeping, and demanded that he should let them in. The old man refused, and they tried to break in through the kitchen door. Churchill defended his property, striking at them with a bayonet which he had fixed on a stick, when one of the men drew a revolver and fired three shots. One shot took effect in Churchill's left breast, killing him instantly. The men went to the eftice of W. B. Webster and had their wonnds dressed. They were Michael Henahan, of Solanylerville, and Patrick Hnghes, of Montane, who has been visiting in Schuyler - villa. Henahan has a flesh wound in hie left breast, while Hughes has a serious wound in the groin. Both men were placed under arrest yesterday. Rifled the Woman and Suieided. A Columbus, O., despatch says : A most horrible murder and 'suicide occurred at 113 Ent Rich street to -day. Tnnie Amaok, a divorced man, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Elizabeth Anderdon, a woman who had separated from her husband, and of whom Amok had become enamoured, Two policemen pursued the murderer to hie boarding-house, but he was too fleet for them, and rushing upstairs he round his son, told him what he had done, and ordered him from the room. Soon after a shot was heard, and the officers burst in the door and found Amack lying on tbe bed deal Men's Fashions, The Inverness cape, for faladress wear, is now made with the velvet collar.

ALIOE WALIA.OE'S TRIAL, fille is ()barged With Feeding Her Husband Rough on Rats, WHAT THE WITNESSES SAID, A Chatham despatch says: Mrs. Alice Wallaoe Was placed in the (look this morn- ing on the charge of having murdered her husband, James Wallace, at Tilbury East, on the 9th September, 1889, by administer- ing rat poison. The prisoner was arraigued at the laet Assizes and pleaded not guilty, but the MB was pOStp011ed on account of the absence of it material witness, whose evidence has since been taken under corn. mission by consent of the prisoner's counsel, Mr. C. E. Pegley, Q. C. The primmer during part of the trial eat in the dock with an infant in her errata Shortly atter Mr. Macdougall (for the Crown) commenced his opening addreee to the jury the infant interrupted the proceedings for a short time, and had to be removed, Later on the prisoner interrupted Mr. Macdougall, stating that ehe knew nothing of the affair; that her husband had been dying for 11 years, and was not poieoned. After referring to the horrible nature of the crime of poisoning, Ur. Macdougall stated that they would prove that the prisoner and her husband had not been on good terms; the 'Drown would prove a motive on the prisoner's part; they would prove by medical testi. mony that there was enough arsenic found in the deceased's body to poison a horse; they would also prove that the prisoner, two months before the poisoning, sent her daughter to Mr. Sales' to get some "rough on rats," which was procured. Certain contradictory statements made by the prisoner would also be given in evidence. Detective McKee was the first witness. He stated that he bad taken some "rough on rats" from Sales' etore, in Port Alma, and delivered it to Analyst Prof. Heys. Angus Cameron, a neighbor of deceased's, testified with reference to the deceased's health. He saw the deceased vomiting a good deal before his death. Dr. Bray, jail surgeon at Chatham, stetted that be held the inquest at Tilbury. The prisoner made a statement, which was taken down by the witness. The prisoner stated at the inquest that there was no "rough on rats" in the house. Pars. Ida Cern swore that prisoner handed her a newspaper on one occasion, and asked her to rend a paragraph to the deceased. The paragraph contained an anount of poisoning by "rough on rate." Shortly after witneee saw prisoner's little girl carrying a box of " rough on rats" from the store to Wallace's. Mary Wallace, prisoner's daughter, swore that the prisoner sent her so Sales' store to get some " rough on rate," which she pro- oured and took home. The prisoner told witness to say at the inquest that Miss Maud Beggs sent her for the "rough on rats," which witnesa did swear to at the inquest. Witness heard deceased say to the prisoner the morning before he died: "Woman, you have not been poisoning me, have you ?" to which tile prisoner replied : " My God, do you think anyone would do that ?" Thomaa Wallace, jun., a 16.yearold son of the prisoner, was examined at some length. He said his parents used to get along very well. On one occasion they had a dispute and prisoner was going towards deceased, James Wallace, with a table knite in her hand, hut witness at once took the knife away, fearing she might do some harm with it. Reuben Jones, county constable at Til- bury, stated that he audited the prisoner. He heard prisoner tell Dr. Bell that she would give him 050 cash if he would settle this matter up at once, as she was afraid the Wallaces would try anti get her into trouble. Abraham Smith, a son-in-law of the prisoner, stated that he obtained permis- sion to see prisoner in the jail last week, and that prisoner handed him a slip of paper, which prisoner gave to Detective McKee. Witness identified the paper pro. duced as the one banded to him. The document was read in conrt' and is as follows : " If I do not see you before, or do not get a chance to speak to you, be sure and swear everything in my favor, and if you can clear me you are all the one I care for: you can clear me if you try. For God's sake do not let them chit. dren swear against me; you's all have to stand up for me this time or I will be in a bad shape. If you was in ray place I would swear to anything to dear yon." Kate Guy teetified that the evening after the inquest prisoner stated to her that Tom Wallace knew better than to blame it on a etranger, after leaving the poison in a cap on the Thursday when he was up. The prisoner blamed Tom Wallace for the in- quest being held. The prisoner also stated to witness that the deceased had said when dying that it was the poison that was killing him. William Carr swore that he had fin. proper relations with the prisoner during the time of her husband's illness. On cross- examination, witness would not deny that he had stats i in the hotel after the inqueet that as had told round town that he had improper relations with the prisoner he had to swear to it. The court adjourned at 6.30 thia evening. The case will occupy the attention of the court probably till late to -morrow night. The trial of Alice Wallace for the murder of leer husband on September 9il1, 1889, was continued this morning. Enoch Sales, merchant, of Port Alma, testified that about July, 1889, prisoner e daughter Mary came to his store and purchased a box of "Rough on Rats." Shortly after the death of James Wallace Detective McKee procured from witnese two boxes of "Rough on Rats" for analr.Y6ia Dillyer attended the deceased a few months before his death. He wee suffering from is disease of a private nature. Dr. Bell held a post-mortem examination with Drs. Bray and Fleming.
